Re: Some requested features...

Good thread!

99Beers and I have done a little bit of testing on the YouTube thing, but so far we haven't been able to figure it out. Stand by... for now, you can post links to YouTube, but you just won't see a preview image on the board.

Making links open in a new tab should be pretty easy. Wasn't aware that that was important to people, but if there's demand for it, I'll add it.

There is a PM system here, of sorts. It's based on plain old SMTP email, though, and I like that. CSNBBS had a proprietary, non-SMTP PM system, and, the implication of that "proprietary" part was that Herr Sands could read/filter the PMs.

The next thing I was thinking about adding was the ability to post polls. I'll prioritized everyone else's requests though.

Re: Some requested features...

Stink mentioned embedding (guessing YouTube) and links/url opening up in a new tab. I'd throw in the ability to PM users. Any other ideas?

great thread!

IMG (*edit for [] auto deleted in first version) doesn't work.....at least it didn't with my pic in my first attempt.....

the first attempt only showed the text that req'd a right click->open in new tab to view

when I replied to that post, it then showed the entire link w/o me having to manipulate the previous post

IMO, that's a big problem....

and yes, embedding video is easily another....

the thing that bothers me the most is having a menu bar that is completely different from normalized standards.....maybe I'm that displaced from the current scene, but having to hover over icons to understand what they mean is just damned annoying.....

gts' formatting is solid.....I don't care how big of a putz anyone thinks he is, but his standard is easily learned and is based off MS Outlook (which most can relate to....and I haven't used that in 10 fucking years)

just keep it as simple as possible......nobody will use a tool they can't relate to....and most people don't/won't write out the code as req'd.....

also, his quick edit/full edit functionality has value too.....

lastly, white on gray sucks balls.....it's hard on the eyes....light shaded/white background with black text wins all day and the eighth one....ditch the artsy/fartsy thingy.....it's pointless....I tried 'em all 20 yrs ago.....

Re: Some requested features...

we posted animated gifs and pictures on the board just today in some threads. if the poster who likes 1 in his stink would have simply read the board before acting like a jackass he would have realized that.

Re: Some requested features...

why'd you delete your response mr. admin?

I was in the field - read it - didn't have time to reply at that time....

nice move with the youtube solution....very nice....

another suggestion that gorge tse swill didn't think about....when replying to a post, it would be nice to see either the post # while responding and reviewing or even better, a linkable # that allowed right click -> copy link address vs. opening another tab and copy/pasting said link.....

I have more....but I'm hungry now

well done with the site....if you ask, I will do my best to feed only as a user.....b/c you're right, it IS YOUR board

I'm disturbed by your avatar. I can only describe it as "H.P. Lovecraft's version of a bald dude vaping in a locker room."
